I don't have a problem with the WWE being scripted, ALL of pro wrestling is scripted to begin with. It's like Game Of Thrones or a Shakespearian play, sure it's fake, but we're willing to buy into it and be entertained by the world it creates! My problem with the WWE is that the script they use sucks! Talented heels get crushed by bland babyfaces, old people win 80% of the time despite being past their prime, talented faces either get stuck with awful gimmicks or get buried with a series of losses and awful storylines, women are treated like sex symbols and not wrestlers (although that's changing), and Vince McMahon is always right even when he isn't!

That's why I don't watch the WWE anymore (besides NXT) unless I'm catching highlights on YouTube. My favorite wrestling promotions at the moment are Lucha Underground (An example of obivously being fake but still being entertaining and even captivating), Chikara (It's just plain fun), and I'm planning on watching ROH sooner than later! Does anyone have any recommendations for good alternatives to the WWE?

Also, to respond to 15 Shows, I have to agree. Wrestling fans are pretty bitter at times, but then again, when the biggest wrestling show there is, and probably the one most non wrestling fans have heard of, features horrible romance plots, promos more wooden than a log cabin, predicable interference and screwy finishes in EVERY SINGLE MATCH that get no one over, and wrestlers with no clue on how to be a decent babyface or heel, it's plain to see why we get so angry that the WWE is what most people think wrestling is like! Perhaps, however, instead of channeling our energy on hating on the bad, we should foucus on what makes wrestling great!

Love me? Good. Hate me? Better
